Hi Rute, The functionality you are looking for has been implemented already, and the "hold" strategy should indeed put the workflow on hold, offering the administrator the possiblity to either retry or discard. Looking at the code, it seems that this part of the retry implementation got messed up when merging it into 1.4 quite a while ago. Please track MH-9013 for the status of this problem.
Here are the answers to your questions: > 1) If I don't specify max-attempts, will it try the operation forever until > the service is fixed? The default value of max-attemps is 1. But for the hold state strategy, the operation will go directly in hold state without trying a second time. > 2) Shouldn't the workflow stay in on-hold instead of running state? I was > expecting to see an admin screen to select the retry strategy for the failed > operation. Yes it should work as described on http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Retry+Strategies. You should able to choose to select the retry strategy. > 3) How do I remove it from this state? :) As described above, the functinoality is currently broken but should soon be fixed.
